Iron Soldiers in Vietnam

This book will be an enjoyable read for any soldier who served with an engineer unit in Vietnam. Iron Soldiers is the story of the 577th Engineer Battalion (Construction) in Vietnam from January of 1967 through January of 1968. It is the story of a young Captain and the thousand or more men he worked with during the construction of a 400 bed hospital, two Army airfields and many other projects. It is the story of dedication, effort, pathos, pride and humor. And the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Army played their role, of course. The book was written for those living Veterans who served in the battalion from 1966-1972, their families, and for those who perished.
